SoA<nAp mans, AAPAh A., W..
DEAR CAT:
Wasn't that nice little piece, Mr..
Buffers put in the CAT last week about
the women, just like him to. he's always
saying something like that, l just believe
Mr.. Buffers likes the women better than
any man in Colby, only wish he'd do
something else to prove it besides talk.
l read Mr.. Buffers little CAT letter to Geo.
and he said ''pshaw' Buffers is cracked,
but don't believe it, because I never
noticed it, and I've seen him lots of
times. Some people are funny, amt they?
I think that letter is just like one of Mr..
Buffers sermons, only it's hitler and he
didn't have so much room to say nice
things about the girls in it, and isn't that
poetry just too awfully lovely, only don't
think Mr.. Buffers ought to call me man,
because I hate men-some, the great
nasty things, all except Mr.. Buffers and
just think he's sweet enough to put in
tea.
And oh Mr.. CAT what's q Nom de
plume!" because Mr. Buffers said had
one, and don't know what it is, it
sounds like something to eat, but think
it must be new style of hat or
hustle or something, only he wouldn't
know about that, would he? Perhaps
that's the reason he called it that, because
he did't know the right name for it. Mr..
Buffers says l am little off but think all
the Colby women would be badly of, if
if it wasn't for Mr.. Buffers. to write poetry
and things for them :.
l tell you Mr.. CAT, just like Mr..
Buffers and I'd like to live some where
where every body was like him. Geo.
says that always did want one hand full
of the sweetest candy I could find, and
the other full of the stickiest gum could
find, but he's horrid, Geo. is.
l think just like Mr.. Buffers, that
women are lots smarter than men. Only
look at Miss Joan of Arc who couldn't
tell a lie about the cherry tree because
she had her little hat yet, and Susan B.
Anthony who tiddled while Rome was
bowling, or Dr. Mary Walker who in
vented pantalOons. If it hadn't been for
her, how you men would have looked. l
tell you Mr.. CAT that it's just as Mr.. Bull
lers says, if it hadn't been for women
good men would be pretty scarce.
l am awfully sorry that Mr.. Buffers
didn't run for Mayor for l think that any
one who can write such poetry as he can
ought to have something soft given him.
And say, l voted, and lot more women
voted too, and we just voted as good as
the men did, for Geo. Hyatt showed us
how and he just gave us tickets and
showed us how to fold them, only they
wouldn't let us poke them in that funny
little box ourselves and think that was
real mean, and we all forgot to see what
it said on the tickets until after we voted,
but Geo said that would be all right and
Mr.. Willcoxon would give them back to
US in day or two, and wish he'd hurry
up, because Geo. says we all voted for
Mr.. Reform, and l don't know him and
don't believe he was elected anyway.
Well good bye Mr.. CAT and if Mr..
Buffers writes any more nice little letters
to print will tell you about what he
said to my cousin Sallie next time.

Turkey Fox.

For some time DR.. r. Duvall, of the Third
district had been missing young turkeys
from his flock and supposed they had
been stolen, when one day lately he traced
the source of their disappearance to a
large red fox which was captured one
night in the act of taking of several. The
turkeys had been in the habit of roosting
on the fence or in some low trees about
the premises. which were of easy access
to the fox who would sneak up behind
them and carry them of. This had been
going on for some time until forty of the
flock Of young turkeys had been carried
off.
